The NFL's new purse policy has many female fans angry. Is it fair to ban handbags from stadiums? 

News broke over the weekend that the NFL had enacted a new policy for the start of the 2013 season. From now on, standard-size purses will not be allowed inside stadiums. As you can imagine, this isn't too popular with female fans.

The NFL says that it's a safety issue, and despite the complaints this new policy is a win-win that will keep fans in the stands safer. All purses are not banned; a small clutch is still permitted. The NFL also says you can bring things into the stadium in a clear Ziploc bag.

Always thinking on their feet, the NFL also has officially licensed clear bags that you can buy.
